Random Fact of the Day: 🧠Cuba Aided in the fight against EbolaCuba sent hundreds of doctors and nursesDuring the 2014–2016 Ebola epidemic, the government of Cuba deployed large medical teams to West Africa.
  • The first brigade included 165 medical professionals (doctors, nurses, epidemiologists, and specialists).

  • They were mainly sent to Sierra Leone, one of the countries hit hardest by Ebola.

  • Later, additional teams went to Liberia and Guinea.

In total, over 250 Cuban medical workers were eventually deployed to the region. Did they send more than the USA:Yes — in terms of number of medical personnel deployed, Cuba sent more doctors to fight Ebola in West Africa than the United States.
